Ministry of
Environment
The Ministry of Environment has
established a special program under
the name of GREEN TAS which stands
for Development of methods and tools
for the establishment of Good
Environmental performance in the
Tourist Accommodation Sector in
Jordan - implementation of pilot
studies.
The project aims to develop
strategies and instrument to
pro-actively address the problems
caused by increasing tourism in
order to ensure a sustainable
development of the sector in Jordan.
In order to directly involve the
tourism industry in the project,
Hotels and universities have been
invited to join as strategic
partners.
The economic
viability of environmental measures
is of great concern to this
project. The partners in this
project are:
- University of Cyprus representing
the European countries
- Ministry of Tourism
- Hashemite University
- Jordan University of Science and
Technology
- Moevenpick Hotels & Resorts -
Jordan
- AEOLIKI Ltd as consultant
In November 2006 Moevenpick
developed and published a technical
report and environmental review,
specially focusing on the hotel’s
aspects in terms of destruction of
habitat of flora and fauna and the
unique ecosystem of the Dead Sea as
well as sustainable utilization of
resources and safety of guests and
employees.
This report could
become a guide for other
destinations and form a platform for
awareness and competence training.
